So, I checked the pattern in other languages and it seems that it is only the Danish one which is incorrect, just as I suspected. Please have that amended asap so I can start the work

So, it is ok to write in e.g. German, but I cannot ask a question in Danish?? That's quite appaling! Also, quite disrespectful that you can't write my name correctly. But my question was if the pattern was correct as you say 'an empty square' is ret på retsiden, ret på vrangsiden but it is exactly the same for 'a square with a black dot in it' to me it sounds wrong?

We are sorry Susanne, our Danish colleagues are right now in summer vacation but I'll try to explain you in English - the symbol with a black dot should be an increase, ie work 2 sts in the same st - correction has been done. Thank you. Happy knitting!

Nicole: sad to hear that about the colours, I have bought the same combination because it looks very nice. I haven't knitted it yet, because the pattern seems wrong to me and they don't seem willing to reply to my question :(
